New Blood
Chapter 6
Disclaimer: These characters belong to J. K. Rowling with one or two notable exceptions that I'm putting into the story to interact with them. I write these stories for fun and they are not intended to infringe on the published works of the author noted above.
A/N: This story is set during the year five. J. K. Rowling does all of her stories from the Dream Team's point of view. This will be set from the point of view from selected characters on the Slytherin side of things. Just so the Purists know, this is an AU fic.

===============
As it turned out, the four Gryffindors and the two Slytherins did eventually become friends. The rest of Slytherin House and Gryffindor House didn't like the idea, but Samantha and Hermione explained the situation. Basically they told them that they'd been put in a situation where their lives could depend on each other and that if they didn't like it, they could lump it. With the Slytherins, Samantha basically told them that it was none of their business who Draco and herself chose as friends and if anyone wanted to say anything to her about it, she would meet them on the quidditch pitch at midnight to answer any questions that they would want to ask. She stated that if it came down to that, she would be the only one walking back as the others would be turned into a slug.
When the owl with Draco's weekly letter came in, Lucius commented that it was probably a good thing the maneuvering going on at Hogwarts. That it would put Draco and Samantha in advantageous positions in the coming days.
[I wonder what that is about,] Draco asked Samantha.
Samantha walked over to him and put her hand on his forehead. "Are you okay Draco," she said aloud "you look flushed." Through touch telepathy so that they could speak privately she said [there will be some student abductions on the Hogsmeade week-end at the end of the year. The special DADA team will be amongst those kidnapped. The Gryffindors are to be put on the menu. Father and us will have to be there to rescue them.]
"Ah!" Draco said. "I think I will go to bed early tonight. I don't feel well." Seeing Pansy and Millicent come into the common room as he said that, Draco continued. "Help me to bed?"
Picking up on his mischievous emotions, Samantha said "sure, but you probably won't get much sleep that way." The two slytherins went to the dorms hand in hand with two murderous glares following them down the corridor.
As soon as the two got to the room and saw that there was nobody there, they entered.
"Is there anyone in your dorm that is any good at puzzles?" Samantha asked?
"Not really" Draco said. "Why?"
"We've two choices." Samantha explained. "I'm up for either option. We can either go ahead and do what we will surely be accused of, Or, she continued, we can make them think we are and make sure that no-one can get in whilst we go and inform the others of what is going on?"
"Can't we do both?" Draco asked.
"I thought you'd never ask." Samantha turned and with a wave of her hand said something in Japanese. Her bracelets glowed and the door turned into a large Chinese Puzzle Box. "They have to solve the puzzle to get in here." She said.

(Half an hour Later)
Neville was sitting in the Gryffindor common room when he saw Samantha walk through the wall like a ghost.
"Neville," she said, "I need you and the others to meet us in the DADA room that we use for Psionic class."
"How did you do that?" Neville asked.
"Mother's not taught you to Astral Project?" Samantha asked. "I'll have to fix that."
"Not if you teach him the same way you taught me," a very annoyed Draco said as he appeared beside her. "So this is the Gryffindor Common room. Too much scarlet and too many windows."
"Tell the others to meet us in about 20 minutes." Samantha said.
The two astral travellers winked out in a flash of light.
Neville walked around and got the other three and told them what happened. When the six students met 20 minutes later, the first question out of the mouths of the Gryffindors were questions about Astral Projection.
"I'll entertain questions about that later." Samantha said. "There has come to light some information that you need to know. During the last Hogsmeade week-end of the year, there will be some student abductions. All of us are on the roster for people who will 'disappear' without a trace. Draco and I for the obvious reason. The four of you for reasons that are equally as obvious. Join hands everyone so that no one will be able to listen in. Not even the Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw counterparts to this class."
When the six of them had joined hands, she continued. [Draco, Myself, and my Father will have to make certain that nothing happens to the others. Voldemort.]
[DON'T say that NAME.] This came from Ron.
[Grow up Ron.] Samantha said. [As I was saying. A certain someone has plans for the non-Slytherins of the group. If he knew about what my family was doing, we'd be on the menu as well. I'm telling everyone this because as I said during the first meeting. We have to trust each other implicitly and stick together to be strongest. Besides, you can't lie telepathically. I wanted you to continue to trust us.
[What do you want us to do, Sam,] Neville thought.
[First off,] Samatha said [we mustn't show our psionic abilities until we have to. Then we try to do as much. Sorry Draco, but I'm going to have to teach them to Astral Project, but that can wait a couple of days. I want to talk ideas over with you first.]
[You were right,] Hermione said. [You can't lie telepathically, but I've got the feeling that there's a crucial point of information that needs to be presented.]
[You're right Hermione.] Samantha said. [But there are some considerations that I must address between Draco and my self before I think about teaching anyone else. Are there any more questions?]
When nobody answered, Samantha broke the circle of hands and said "I'll see everyone in class."
The Gryffindors saw Samantha and Draco leaving hand in hand. There was the intense feeling that there was an intense discussion going on.
---------------
It was finally decided, several days later, that Samantha would teach Harry to astral project and that Draco would teach Hermione. Then those two, probably meaning Hermione, would teach the other Gryffindors. The threat passed between the two of them when boiled down to it's component parts basically said "If he/she's better in bed than I am, you'd better not say it."

A/N: Sorry for the delay. ;) I hope not to take as long with the next chapter.
